About Magnolias, though slightly off topic.
We have some down our road and various points on the way to the vets and apparently, the town where my vets are has hundreds all along the roads, lining gardens.
We've been going to the vets since 1994/1995 and in all those years NEVER seen such a display as the blooms in 2022.
Every month we made the same trip and the magnolias on the entire 50 ish mile round trip, were all in bloom, they were stunning! 2022 was that scorcher year, maybe why the display was so good. We lost her in September 22. When her sister took ill last year, the Magnolias though out and stunning, not as good, weather was cooler. My beloved died 7 months to the day of losing the other and its strange as like I said at the beginning, the Magnolias have NEVER bloomed like they did in 2022.
I would like one, just don't have space.
